Hello Profit.ly Trading Community,
I am starting this blog to gather support from the trading community on Profit.ly to include futures trade uploads from the brokers. While most of us on here are trading stock/equities/etfs etc., many of us are trading futures options. I'm hoping that this garners the attention of the web developers, Tim, and staff to allow futures trades like crude oil, S&P, Dow, U.S. dollar, Gold, and Silver etc (to name a few). I currently upload all of my trades however my statistics do not include my futures trades. Please show support to this blog and the request to add futures options. Good luck trading everyone!
Sincerely,
CEWallstreet
@PeterSkala I trade options and futures. I trade options more than futures. I will be posting watchlists on the options i'm watching and training.
trading not training.
that would be awesome as i am also going to trade options. need to know more about the set ups, strategies etc but am studying hard. what do u think the minimum account size you would need to trade options/futures ?
Well as a margin requirement to trade oil with my broker you will need at least $4300 to hold a one contract position. It's the same for holding /YM (Dow futures). So at any given point you will need that as a minimum. The way around that is to trade USO, OIL, SPY etc etfs which will cost you much less. For just options I would say you want at least 2k in your account just to get started.
